1039. TACA campaigned to have the DEA donate the car to the Smithsonian, which they did. It's currently on display in CA as the Smithsonian remodels.

Out of off-topic curiosity...is the Smithsonian's remodeled American history museum going to have some real display space for their car collection? As in, a permanent exhibit space, or something like it? I'd love to be able to see Jackson's Winton, the Cable Special, etc., etc. in one nice gallery.

As to the question of whether or not the seized Tucker car (#1039) was the Tucker car that was a part of the 150th Year tour, the answer is yes.
